Just out of curiosity, what's everyone reading these days?

I just finished:
'Landry' by Bob St. John.. The life of Tom Landry, a former coach of the Dallas Cowboys

'The Making of the Atomic Bomb' by Richard Rhodes, the story, and background, of the players in the 'Manhattan Project'

And now I've started the memoir of Clark Clifford, 'Counsel to the President' with Richard Holbrooke contributing..

After that I have the bio of Lenny Bruce....

Old Westerns.
The Gunsmith by J.R. Roberts is one of my fav's. It is a monthly series, I am on #374. I have read all of them

Just finished "The Brave" by Nicholas Evans, author of "The Horse Whisperer".

WordPress stuff & how to hack piece of $hit Windows 7 to get it to work in a business environment.  Over 1/2 a billion business computers still running Windows XP because anything newer doesn't work.  MS plans to stop support on XP next spring..... should be plenty of money to be made.   ;D ;D ;D
